AIR Aerial Fitness ended 2024 with 13 franchised outlets and no company-owned outlets. In that year 3 franchised outlets opened and none left the system.
Three years at a glance
From 2022 through 2024, AIR Aerial Fitness opened 7 franchised outlets and 2 outlets left the system. That is a net gain of 5, from 8 to 13 franchised outlets. Of the outlets that left, 1 was bought back by the franchisor and 1 closed for other reasons.
With fewer than 10 outlets, one closure moves the numbers a lot, so we do not calculate a yearly rate.
Our arithmetic from the FDD's Item 20 table below. "Left the system" counts every outlet the franchisor reports as terminated, not renewed, bought back, or closed for other reasons.
